Day 16: 30 Days Excellence Challenge
Tajweed Rule of the Day:
Idgham Shafawi (إدغام شفوي):
When a Meem Sakinah (مْ) is followed by another Meem (م), merge the two Meems completely and pronounce them as one Meem with Ghunnah (nasalization) for 2 harakat. This is called Idgham Shafawi (lip merging).
Examples for Clarity:
Idgham Shafawi Examples:
لَهُمْ مَا → "Lahummmaa" (Meem Sakinah followed by م).
كَمْ مِنْ → "Kammmin" (Meem Sakinah followed by م).
Today’s Goal:
Recite Juz 16 and mark every Meem Sakinah followed by another Meem. Focus on merging the two Meems with Ghunnah.
